STANDARDS THAT SHOULD CONCERN YOU: NON-CONTRIBUTING HOUSES

Remodeling is Severely Restricted (see attached).

“I know what was said during Petitioning. . .  Non-Contributing homes would only be subject to height and setback type restrictions, but the discussions that happened in however long we’ve talked about Styles, it evolved to where we are because if Non-Contributing has no regulation then someone could apply for a remodel of a NC home, take it down to a couple of walls and then rebuild like that black house on [x street]  that everyone… complains about.“- Summer Loveland, Head of the Neighborhood Committee, Meeting 15.

Trees. You can no longer remove a mature tree in the front yard without approval. 

Work Review. Work Not Requiring a Building Permit Must Still Go Through Review with The Director of the Dept. of Planning and Urban Development.

Appealing a Denial: $600-1000 plus a tree-killing amount of paperwork. See the City’s Website. It’s mind-boggling.

Fines. $2,000 per day per occurrence for unauthorized work.

Fines. $2,000 per mature tree removed or seriously damaged in front yard.

You are limited to two stories.

You, as a non-contributing homeowner, are not allowed an attic story 

  • Why? Because you are not one of the 5 styles considered Contributing in the Draft Ordinance: Tudor, Spanish Revival/Eclectic, French Eclectic, Colonial Revival, Neoclassical. 
  • The 5 Contributing Styles are allowed an attic story, giving them a third story.

The idea is that all Non-contributing homes will eventually be replaced by Contributing homes.
